<p>Several weeks ago, Mark Andrews gave me an excellent suggestion
about a particular BIND feature, but it is a somewhat recent
feature that started to exist on a version of BIND that isn't
yet distributed in the default/main BIND distributions for many
of the most common linux-based operating systems. I think the
particular feature that was mentioned - came into existence
around BIND 9.13? Unfortunately, many of the major linux
operating systems haven't reached 9.13 yet. So, for example, I'm
currently trying to upgrade a Debian server to a more recent
version of BIND - 9.16 - and I saw the following pages:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://packages.debian.org/sid/bind9"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://packages.debian.org/sid/bind9</a></p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-9-packages/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-9-packages/</a><br>
</p>
<p>But I can't seem to find any simple way to do this - or maybe I
missed something on that page? - from what I've seen, for
Debian, it requires that the BIND source code (and various
dependencies) be downloaded, and then BIND has to be compiled.
Or so it seems. I tried that, but kept running into errors -
something about "Libressl not found" - even though I really did
already have the SSL package installed that it said it needed.
It was a downward-spiral mess I couldn't seem to resolve.<br>
</p>
<p>So here is the question - is there an <b><i>easier/simpler</i></b>
way to get the most common linux operating systems (Debian,
Ubuntu, CentOs, etc) - to a later version of BIND - beyond what
auto-installs when you issue a command like "apt-get install
bind9" - but <i>without</i> having to download and compile the
source code?<br>
